4. 詹雨树 Raintree Chan（台湾 Taiwan）
选择用拼贴创作就像是我很喜欢的科学怪人(Frankenstein) 一样，本身由各种物件组合实验而成。
My favorite character Frankenstein, consists of a combination of various objects made, inspires me to start my work in collage art.
拼贴算是一种再生，可以很任性狂妄的创造怪物，偷偷隐渡暧昧藏匿细节，我很享受这种私密的过程。直觉是我做拼贴的第一步，记忆其实一直潜伏在我的脑里，那些看过的电影画面，可能衔接着低俗小说，或是画作里的角落不协调地堆叠着，感觉像是吸血鬼闻到血的方向，很自然就知道要从哪里咬下第一口吧。喜欢A to Z和Cult Movies。
创作对我来说，是知道自己还能做很多有趣的事；而作品有自己的生命，当它被完成后，传递的讯息将只会存在于它和观者之间。
Collage Art is a process of renewable and recycled which I captivated deeply. The first step of creation starts in the memories, which are hidden in the subconscious, then follow with the instinct. Just like the vampires always know where the blood is. I am always obsessed in the category in A-Z and the absurdity of B Cult films, same as my creation, reminds of me how fascinating it is within myself.
